“This is a time where social-emotional well-being must be prioritized,” explains Brandon Frame, Director of Social-Emotional Learning at the Urban Assembly. “Families across the country are dealing with a lot right now, and our communities and institutions have great incentive to prioritize SEL. By leaning in and listening to the needs of members of our communities, we, as practitioners and leaders, can better support the social-emotional needs of our communities.”
Experts will lead workshops and sessions that explore the equity, science, implementation and creating sustainable social-emotional learning programs and supports which are vital to advancing outcomes at this time.

“Social-Emotional Learning is a paramount skill for students and staff, explains Urban Assembly CEO David Adams. “With fewer resources and increased constraints, program facilitators and educators are now tasked with rising to the occasion of providing high-quality experiences during a time of unprecedented need. This is the time for educators, program managers, counselors, students, families, and academics to lean into social-emotional learning. The Urban Assembly looks forward to working with practitioners and communities across the nation at the annual SEL symposium.”
